I think you're going to need to provide clarification of what you mean. Are you referring to nurses working off the clock, such as not getting a lunch break but not making sure they get paid for it?

You do if you come in early and look up your Pt's before you clock in...or make employee recognition gifts off the clock and spend your own money on getting said gifts...still think it doesn't come close to the off the clock time and money teachers put in. Either way, I love being a nurse

Here's another answer.

Yes ... at least most nurses do. Most nurses get paid either once every 2 weeks ... or once a month. Most nurses work more days than that. Therefore, they work more days than they get paid.
